Don and all of his workers were extremely responsive. Their work was done in an excellent manner. From mid January to mid March there was between 1 to 6 workmen there almost every day. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of his work and would not hesitate to use him again.

Highly recommend. Don came out for the quote right away and and made it affordable. The bathroom turned out beautifully and they did everything from the tear down to installing all marble tile. Communication was excellent and everything was done on time. They also painted and did the trim work. The installer, Janus, was very efficient and his workmanship excellent. Don and his team really made it easy for us and we’re very happy with the finished product.

Donald and his team did an amazing job on our kitchen remodel. We were particularly impressed at his thoroughness in making sure that everything was up to standard and his quick problem solving when we encountered unforeseen issues. He was able to suggest thoughtful alternatives and quick estimates for any additional cost when our original plans proved unworkable. That said, his original estimate was quite accurate and we were able to keep the project within budget. All of Donald's subcontractors were punctual, professional, and did excellent work. We were very happy with the finishes. Donald stayed in close communication with us through the project, was able to navigate the what can be a tricky inspection process, and got our project done within a reasonable timeline. We would definitely work with Donald again.

Don was not only the lowest quote we received but did a phenomenal job! The shower had massive tiles and stone to work with all amazing work. Tile is A+++. The shower was state of the art and very complicated with 7 heads and electronic controls. Perfect. All the other work was just as good. Quote was accurate. You will not go wrong hiring Don! Very very pleased
Description of Work: Don installed beautiful new backsplash and remodeled a bathroom with a luxury spa/steam shower. In addition he worked on outside of house and did many smaller jobs inside that included paint, electric, plumbing and tile work.
It went very smoothly. Don communicated well with us and with the kitchen designer. The job went to schedule and the work is high quality. We are very pleased and will work with Don again.
We hired Don Lorenc to build out our unfinished basement. Don was friendly and easy to work with and offered good suggestions on incremental improvements to our design. When issues came up, he communicated thoroughly and offered cost effective solutions. His carpentry team was exceptional and we are very happy with the final product.
We bought a house that needed more storage space, and wanted it added in the short time window between when we closed and when we moved in. Don Lorenc met with us to discuss and plan the project before we closed. He then met with us again right after closing to see the space in person and finalize plans. Everyone showed up as scheduled, they were friendly and courteous, and the work was done well. Visitors cannot tell that there were ever *not* closets in place because it looks so seamlessly integrated with the surrounding space. Don also had a lot of helpful comments regarding placement of doors, depth of shelves, etc, that helped us make decisions we're happy with now. We had one minor snag where the heavy-duty shelf supports in the basement were positioned in a way I worried would make it difficult to get very large items in and out of the closet. I called Don, detailed the sizes of my items, and explained my concern. He understood, and it was changed the next day without any fuss. He was responsive and overall his whole team was great to work with.

Don and his crew did a great job on our bathroom remodel. They were courteous and professional, very detail-oriented. They were always punctual and dependable. They used drop cloths throughout the work areas and cleaned up as the work progressed. Don and his crew provided us with design details that enhanced the final product. As hard as it may seem to believe, the bathroom seems greater in size than the original measurements, even though they remained the same. The price was in keeping with other quotes that we had received. We highly recommend Don's company.

Reliable, honest and easy to work with. They did an excellent job. Finished on time and did more than we ask for. Craftmanship excellent. I am a very happy and satisfied customer. Highly recommended.
Amazing! Donald and his team were prompt, clean, friendly, professional and quick. Our job was completed as promised - by time and by money. We are very grateful for the impressive service and interest they took in our project. All along the way making sure it was exactly as we envisioned. Taking care to keep a clean workspace during the day and cleaning up every evening. We are completely satisfied with their work and will recommend Donald to our friends and family.

Tilers did an incredible, professional job. Don found some brick samples to match and chimney was rebuilt and blended nicely with the existing brick. A custom cement cap was built. The original cap was faulty and allowed moisture in which caused face brick pops. He gives a 3 year warranty on the labor.
Description of Work: Our front stoop was retired and the chimney of our 2 story house was rebuilt halfway up.

Everything was accomplished in a timely manner, and in many cases, before deadlines. The staff was friendly, courteous and very accommodating to my work schedule—even alerting me apologizing when things got noisy. They were able to minimize the amount of time without use of water and basic functioning to just a few days. They seemed to have a very precision attention to detail. Don oversaw everything and he even made a small redesign of one of the cabinets to make it more functional. The results are truly beautiful. Even though I now have more cabinets, friends tell me the space looks larger. I am thrilled with my new kitchen and highly recommend Don’s services.

I hired Don Lorenc Construction to refinish my bathroom and add backsplash to my kitchen. They sent out their worker Chris to do both jobs. Chris did an amazing job. He was both professional amd personable. Showed up on time. Worked hard. Paid very close attention to detail. Listened to and answered any questions I had. Their proposal was fair and was billed what they promised. I had a wonderful experience with them and would use them again and refer them to others.
Description of Work: Refinishing bathroom and adding backsplash to kitchen
They have done an excellent job on every part of the job. I have dealt with a lot of contractors over the past 10 years and by far Donald is the best I've ever hired. He has provided very high-end quality work at a very fair price. The detail work in the tile and carpentry is the best I've seen. Also, it is very rare to find an honest contractor. I have asked Donald for suggestions throughout this project and he's helped me find more cost effective solutions to some of my problems. He doesn't try to sell you something or talk you into doing extra work that is not necessary. They also work very fast, get started and finished without delays. Donald is my new go-to contractor for any future projects and I have already referred him to my Mother and a coworker.
Description of Work: They performed nearly a gut rehab of a majority of my house. Replaced old tile and carpet floors with new porcelain tile and new hardwood floors. Replaced old baseboards and window and door casings/trims with new baseboards and window and door casing/trims. Refinished old hardwood floors. Replaced drywall on ceilings and walls. Replaced old insulation with new insulation. Replaced several interior doors, several exterior doors, and a sliding patio door. Patched random holes in drywall that did not require replacement. Replaced interior carpeted stairs with new oak stairs including treads, risers, and stringers to meet current building code (my old stairs did not meet code).

DL Construction completed a full remodel of our kitchen. They took time to understand our vision, helped us with the design and material selection, and gave us plenty of good advice. They were very easy to work with and completed the project quickly even though they had to work around our busy family schedule. These guys definitely have a lot of experience and take pride in their work; quality and thoroughness were evident every step of the way. They were professional, efficient and did everything they agreed to.

I really enjoyed my experience with Don Lorenc Construction. The kitchen remodel turned out great. They were very helpful with ideas to stay on budget but still achieve the modern look I was wanting. Their professional help made the process easy and they stuck to the schedule that we had worked out together to get the job done on time for my house guests that were coming!!
We decided to remodel our basement, update the kitchen, and remodel the first floor bathroom. Don brought fantastic ideas and converted them into a design. All work was performed on the highest level of professionalism. Workers were always on time and they always cleaned the place up before leaving for the day. The communication was excellent; Don always responded quickly. In the future, we would like to build an addition to our home and there is no doubt that we will do it with Don Lorenc's company.
Description of Work: Remodeling of my basement, kitchen and bathroom.
Don was absolutely excellent. He worked with us on our timing, which was complicated due to a delayed house closing. He anticipated our needs and was exactly what you want from a contractor. He managed every detail and personally repaired cracked plaster for us. From talking to our neighbors, we got higher quality work and at half the price others paid. When we had some complications with our move, he stepped in and performed extra services for us, such as contracting a tree trimmer. He even built a rack for our firewood before we could think of it.
Description of Work: Don Lorenc did substantial work on our recently purchased home, which was built in 1901 and needed a lot of work. His group took care of substantial exterior brick work to stop leaks, replaced a dozen windows, demolished moldy basement walls, installed tile, refinished thousands of sq feet of wood floor (and repaired antique flooring), installed heated floor and carpet, and demolished a rotted porch covering.
